Verdict

Robin O'Ryan: "He's a star and he just comes alive here. Even going down to the start I could tell he'd run a big race. He won a claimer last year, you know. David only does 9st and if he could do any lower he'd have a lot more winners."

David Nolan: "It's been a long winter so that's a great start. He runs well fresh and is the most genuine horse I've ever ridden. I watched the videos of his runs in the Lincoln and I just tried to ride him in exactly the same way. He doesn't quicken he just keeps finding."
